I have a VXPocket v2 PCMCIA soundcard. I got pcmcia-cs working just fine and followed all the ALSA install instructions on the alsa-project. I started the pcmcia service and started alsasound. /proc/asound lists card0 (i8x0) and card1 (vxpocket). cat devices lists, for card 1, 32: [1- 0]: ctl 36: [1- 0]: hardware dependent . aplay -l lists no playback for this card, and alsamixer reports no mixer elems found for the card. xmms output plugin, predictably, also lacks an option to output to the card. any idea what's wrong? gentoo, running kernel 2.6.4-mm1 on a dell 8600. Any help is appreciated. here are the steps I took during installation: (for those unfamiliar with gentoo, the emerge command is used to compile & install packages) # emerge pcmcia-cs (copied some other guy's config.opts since cardmgr crashes w/ default options.) # emerge alsa-utils # emerge alsa-tools # emerge alsa-firmware copied vxpocket.conf from alsa source to /etc/pcmcia compiled a new kernel with ISA, PCMCIA, and ALSA support, with the VXPocket driver compiled in (not as modules). added these lines to /etc/modules.d/alsa: alias snd-card 0 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-1 snd-vxpocket post-install snd-vxpocket /usr/bin/vxloader options snd cards_limit=2 # modules-update restarted computer with the new kernel. #/etc/init.d/pcmcia start #/etc/init.d/alsasound restart (I also tried removing the i8x0 lines and making snd-vxpocket card 0 but that failed also. the intel i8x0 sound works just fine, it's just the vxpocket that is presenting a problem) Thanks again! _________________________________________________________________ Get rid of annoying pop-up ads with the new MSN Toolbar ?
